For the next 15 minutes, the questions kept coming one after another, but because of privacy and other reasons, I could only lie to them here and there while mixing up a bit of truth. It wasn\'t that hard to make them believe my words, given I could still do a couple of things that were normally considered important from a normal person\'s perspective.

"With that out of the way, I would be going to the Gym now. Amara follows me. Walter, I will let you handle the three here. Also, the others are William and Caroline. Hmmm… There are still supposed to be 2 more, but I don\'t know who they are, so keep your eyes open," I spoke as I looked at Walter and he nodded at me. He was shocked for a brief moment, but for some reason, he was glad that it happened the way it did.

Later on, I transferred some money to him using the card from my room. It should be able to help him with his debts and with George. I don\'t think those debt collectors would be able to even touch him. Not that he needed George for that anyway….

I let them stay in my room and asked them to close the door before getting out, partially because of my trust and partially because there wasn\'t anything worth considering here that I would be needing later on.

\'Actually, on that note,\' something clicked in my mind as I moved to my room and opened the gate, finding my bed and other things there. My eyes scanned everything thoroughly, especially the place where I was when I got the system. To be honest, I was hoping to find something that would help me find the origin of the system.

Too bad there was not even a hint of the [System] present around here. 

After looking for another 5 minutes, I changed into Gym clothes, moved out of the room and took Amara to the Gym with me. Why was I taking her with me? Well, it was because I was going to need someone after the Gym to carry a set of things with me. Especially from Floor 68, where Alex lived.

Moving to the top floor, I reached the Gym and found a couple of nasty familiar faces. There were people I have killed before and there were people whom I have saved before. Well, none of that matters anymore.

Picking a corner of the Gym, I started doing [Sit-ups]... well, it sure gained the attention of a lot of people here. Even Amara was observing me with a surprised look as she just gawked at me.

Took me about 20 minutes, but I finished the 1000 Sit-ups

[New Skill: Eyes of the TimeKeeper!]

"Ah! That\'s a lot!" I thought as I looked at the status screen. I didn\'t know that I would gain so many Stat points… Is it because I leveled up to 21 and not 1? Hmmm… good for me.

Not wasting time, I used all my Stat points, equally distributing them between everything except Intelligence for now.

As for the Skill Points, I used 6 of them for [Inspect!] while leveling up [Eyes of the Time keeper!] to Level 3, leaving me with 1 stat point.

\'Nostalgic,\' I thought as I turned to Amara, who was observing me with a flabbergasted expression. Her eyes widened as she looked at me with those brown eyes of hers, as she spoke,

"Is this how… a gym is supposed to work?" 

I saw my body getting more ripped within seconds, while I too saw that drastic change that occurred when I increased the Stat. I think the System did say that the Human limit is 15 Stat points each.

"Kind of… " I muttered as I moved to do a bit of push-ups before running the miles around the area.

I was exhausted a little, but with Stat up, I felt an aroma washing my body that made me energetic even more than before I started doing the exercises. 

"Aren\'t you a monster, kid?" I heard a familiar voice from the back of the crowd as they moved away, only to present an old man with white hair as he looked at me with a slight surprise.

\'Monster, huh?\' I just observed him for a while before a chuckle escaped my mouth as I spoke,"Aren\'t you a monster on your own, sir?" 

I still did not know if he was a regressor or not, so I needed to confirm it. He then moved towards me as he spoke.

"You remind me of my son… such energetic youths. What\'s your name, young one?" 

I looked it in his eyes… and in his status too… nope. He is not a regressor. 

It kind of hurts me that White doesn\'t remember me, especially after the promise I made him and the fact that I couldn\'t fulfill it. Though, overall, I think I can trust White a little… hmmm… or not, maybe? The White that I could trust has spent life and death situations with me… while this White is too vary of me.

"Michael Aroa, sir. May I know yours?" I asked with a bright smile as I looked at him, making him smile back as he brought his hand forward for a shake and I returned the greeting as he answered,

"White. Amory White."

I nodded as I spoke,"Pleasure to meet you Mr. White," and he chuckled before asking a couple of questions regarding how I work out and other stuff, before moving back to doing the gym and stuff. 

\'There will be a time for everything,\' I said to myself as I looked at Amara as I spoke,"let\'s go down. About time you help me with the work that I brought you here for."

And she nodded a little as she blushed before following behind me. The others were looking at me with pure jealousy in their eyes. I could only shake my head before going to the lift as I pressed the button \'Floor 68.\'

Reaching that Floor, I moved out as I asked her to follow behind me before we reached a certain apartment \'Fredricks.\'

-Knock! Knock!

I knocked twice as I waited for the person on the other side to open the door. Though even after waiting for 5 minutes, there was no answer, so I knocked again

-Knock! Knock! I waited again for 2 minutes before a serious expression appeared on my face. However, before I moved to open the door, the sound of clicking entered my ears, as the door opened from the other side.

A familiar face of a white-haired kid, who looked like he hadn\'t eaten for quite a while, looked at me,"who are you?"

His eyes were throwing daggers at me as he observed me carefully.

\'He hasn\'t regressed as well, huh? This is a bit hard now… If the ones here aren\'t the ones, that only leaves a couple of people whom I have a connection with… let\'s hope there is no one, unapproachable…\' I kind of hoped it wasn\'t Miya or Arte… while I have a connection with them… I won\'t be able to meet them before the aforementioned date. That too is a kind of based on luck…

"I have a message from your parents," I lied as I thought of the best possible way to gain his interest and lower his defense here.
